I cannot believe this. Two nameservers under .NL (see below). No problems
at all for the ORG I represent. True, the primary is under .NET. If this
would be the problem for the non working dns for ncdnhc.org, I would guess
that icann at icann.org (the responsible admin contact) could solve it.
Certainly it would _not_ explain why the dns was deleted on the
nameservers that were and are in the ORG zone before the new one is
working... Also I _know_ that any registrar can add a ccTLD nameserver for
use with com/net/org names. I would think that the mother of all
registrars, NetSol, where ncdnhc.org is registered, could do the same. If
not, I suggest transferring the domain to Tucows/OpenSRS, which does the
trick in one or two days. Really. And it also gives you management of the
dns over a webinterface.
